Important information regarding the season:

Home Course – The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge
11825 Trilogy Parkway NE,
Redmond, WA 98053

We have worked hard to cultivate a positive relationship with this public course. A few rules that must be adhered to:

1. Dress code – All participants are required to wear “golf appropriate” attire. Shirts must have a collar; no jeans, denim, or yoga/exercise/Lulu Lemon pants are allowed. Pants must have pockets. Skirts and shorts are allowed. As a team, I don’t want to require you to go spend more money, but we prefer black pants, or black or white golf skirts. Remember, they must have pockets. Players must follow golf course specific rules. It is always a good idea to keep a pair of rain pants in your bag, just in case you don’t have the proper pants for a particular course. Spectators are also required to adhere to golf course rules for dress code or they may be refused entry.
2. Golf etiquette is expected at ALL times – watch your language, play ready golf, fix your divot and ball mark plus one other. Be calm, quiet, and control your emotions at all times. Etiquette violations could result in immediate removal from the team.
3. You may carry your bag or bring your own push/pull cart.
4. You are responsible for all equipment including balls, tees, pencil, etc.

Conduct:

One of the greatest things about golf is the longstanding tradition of integrity, respect and sportsmanship exemplified by golfers. As a member of the golf team and a representative of Bothell High School and the Bothell community, it is expected that our players will conduct themselves with the utmost integrity and class at all times.

Preparation for the Golf Season:

Our team’s competitive success this year will depend largely on the work our players have been putting in, and the effort each of you makes to continue to get better. The key to success in golf is confidence in your abilities, and the key to confidence is practice and a positive mindset. I know how fun it is to hit golf balls hard on the range, but players should practice all facets of their game and try to spend at least 50% of practice time working on pitching, chipping and putting. Great players are great from 120 yards in!
